What makes Alberto Passeri's Rosso di Montalcino so special? He is a stranger to compromise. The grapes come from the same plots as the great Brunello, from the historic vineyards of Canalicchio in the cooler north and the warmer slopes of Castelnuovo dell'Abate in the south. This dual origin is the secret: the elegance and finesse of the north merges with the strength and maturity of the south. Where other producers bottle their Rosso after just a few months, La Gerla allows it to mature for a full two years: six months in steel tanks, twelve months in large Slavonian barrels and a further six months in the bottle. This patience pays off.

Bright ruby red in the glass. The nose opens with juicy cherries, redcurrants and a hint of violets, underpinned by earthy nuances. On the palate: precise fruit, grippy tannins, vibrant acidity and a mineral salinity that invites you to take another sip. The little brother that has long since grown up. SUPERIORE.DE

"Shiny, medium-dark ruby colour with a fine rim. Pronounced flavours of dark chocolate and heart cherry, with notes of forest floor and leather. The palate has generous fruit and fresh acidity, grippy tannins and good length." Falstaff

"Ripe strawberries and red plums are complemented by hints of dried herbs and orange peel on the nose. The medium-bodied palate is smooth and juicy, featuring gentle grip, a dusting of texture and a pure, red-fruited finish." James Suckling
